I have decided to upgrade my clubs.  I live in Jacksonville, so I visited MasterFit in Orange Park.   The person I talked to in the store said they have been in business for over 20 years.   He showed me the swing monitors, a whole bunch of charts and graphs from the previous fitting session, showing clubhead speed, ball speed, smash factor, the flex in the shaft, so on and so forth.  It appears to be a very professional and experienced fitting company.  The prices seem very reasonable for a set of irons, ranging from around $400 to around $800, depending on what kind of shaft, head, etc. 

Here is my question.    What they sell is their own private label club heads.   They aren't Mizuno, Titleist, etc. clubs.   They are MasterFit clubs. 

Are these private label clubs as good as brand name clubs?

They can be good. But in terms of resale, they won't hold value as much.  Keep that in mind.

Also, ask for names of a couple of people they have fitted for. See what customers say.

Where I once lived in Oklahoma, several of the better local amateurs used private-label clubs made by small shops. Drivers, FW woods and wedges were most popular items done by these shops.

    • Day 203 3-8  Focus on getting wider in backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. With wider backswing reconnecting arm wasn't happening as well. Made some good progress. Hit foam balls.
    • Day 523 - 2026-03-08 Got some swings in after a Starter Set of lessons with two new-ish golfers. Downswing work almost exclusively.
    • Lets see, Kapalua, and any other course played on Maui, Hualalai, Koolina and the course where the LPGA now plays the Lotte, Poipu, St Andrews, and Ballyliffen. I think that's it, never chased it but sure do enjoy playing Kapalua, Koolina and Hualalai. Will
    • Updated feels Backswing 1. Knees stay at the same depth 2. Shift right 3. Right now it's imagining the hand path going right and up by raising the right arm. I imagine the hands holding the club while it is pointed up and behind me at my right shoulder.  4. Torso (belly) and hips stay facing forward.  Downswing 1. Mostly just straightening in combination with arms down behind me. I know my knees are bent, but it doesn't feel like much. It doesn't feel explosive because I am not going from a deeper squat.  2. Hands to right pocket or right foot. It should feel like my go down as my shoulders stay up. Stay taller. I don't need to use the body to get the club down. 
    • It also counts in my heart! Thank you
